There are two functions that are inverses of each other, one is ord() which returns the ascii value of the character you feed it, and chr() which returns the character of the ascii number you feed it.
For a list of all ascii codes, on a linux, or other suitably modern unix boxen, type 'man ascii' from a shell prompt.
I'll include a bit of it here:
The following table contains the 128 ASCII characters.
C program '\X' escapes are noted.

I've no clue how well that will look coming out in html on phpbuilder.
(\r is a Carriage Return by the way)
